re: #417 Charles

But this legislation goes WAY too far. When the government gives itself this much power (i.e., to void existing contracts for ALL employees, retroactively) it’s very disturbing, and just packed full of potential for abuse.

Obama’s handling of the crisis has been flawed, as was Bush’s. This is complicated stuff and even most economists don’t know what will work and what won’t.
But extrapolating scenarios from these laws is the exactly what the LLL did for the past 8 years. They wrote about Bush’s massive expansion of power and that we were all going to be denied far trials and sent to gitmo, etc.
Obama has screwed up, and he will screw up some more but I think it’s important to view these laws in the context of what they mean instead of possible slippery slope scenarios of what they could potentially mean.
